Under XP, my PC has two HDD, one of them is for backup only. Does
anyone
have
any suggestions on how to setup a schedule to backup everything from
the
first HDD into the second HDD periodically. Furthermore, can I keep 6
months
backup copy? after 6 months, all the past backup will be deleted and
release
the storage space for new backup copy. This routine will do it forever.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric

You can schedule backups with ntbackup...
However, a more functional product is Acronis. You can certainly make a
full backup and as may incremental or differential backups as you
desire.

You certainly can perform the backup tasks you desire using Acronis
TrueImage. However, if you wish to validate the backup as part of the
scheduled backup, Acronis TrueImage V10 and V11 are sorely lacking. A
better product would be Norton Ghost.

How so? I've been using ATI since ver. 7 without a hitch - am
currently quite happy with ver 11.

Placing my reply close to the question...
What the previous poster means is that ATI does not provide a method for
insuring that what the program sent to the backup file actually got there
error free. In short, this is a test of the entire
system (computer + backup software). Whether you need such a facility or
not depends on how reliable you believe your hardware is.

I am currently running Norton Ghost version 10 on 2 XP systems and Norton
Ghost version 12 on an XP and Vista system. In my setup, I configure
Norton
Ghost to keep a specified number of backups regardless of when the backup
was taken.
